Hi there :)My biggest concern is that you don't miss out on the important nutrition that comes from eating foods made from animals. I think you should sit down with your mom and a doctor (or a nutritionist) and see where you can get your vitamins and minerals - especially because she's the one that's going to be cooking your dinners! Vegucated is a great movie about becoming a vegan - maybe you and your family could watch that? It would make them a little more educated on what they're eating and are more likely to understand why you're being more careful with your food. It's amazing that you're choosing to do this! Just make sure that you're careful :) Also, don't be surprised if you need to take vitamin pills to make sure you get everything your body needs!
